PNC Podcast Blast from the Past: Clinical Documentation Improvement

Physician NonClinical Careers with John Jurica

Nonclinical Nation, it has been a long time since we have heard about clinical documentation improvement as a nonclinical career. And I thought it was time to revisit this topic.

In fact, there are many interviews from early in the podcast that are worth revisiting.

So, I decided to bring back some of them during this summer of 2021. We'll post several of these in the coming months, interspersed with new episodes, as a way to revisit popular nonclinical jobs with awesome guests.

The first blast from the past this summer is my interview with CDI expert Dr. Cesar Limjoco.

Getting Your First CDI Job

I enjoyed revisiting my conversation with Dr. Limjoco. He is very passionate about what he does. We really got into the core principles of CDI.

And Cesar outlined the basic steps for pursuing such a career. Here they are:

1. Get involved at your hospital on a voluntary basis with the appropriate committees and offer to help with CDI projects.
2. Join professional organizations such as the Association of Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists, the American Health Information Management Association, and the National Association of Physician Advisors.
3. Take on a paid part-time position as CDI Physician Advisor as you continue your learning process.
4. Expand your responsibilities to full-time if that’s your goal.
